Ahem. To go back on topic.
I finished a playthrough on Veteran, super rushed. I mostly ESC'd through most dialogues to get over with it. Now I'll start my "new game" and replay my Engineering with some perks already.
I am wondering which Biotic to keep in group. I really dislike both Liara and Kaidan as characters. But biotic power seem very overpowered in this game, if I hadnt finished a playthrough just to do Insanity I'd probably reroll biotics and send everyone flying to their deaths.

Wrex and Liara.The first one is also the best "tank" with barrier and immunity,in addition too valuable biotics like warp and throw.

I'm wanting to shoot myself in the foot but the more I play the more I feel like rerolling biotic; that would allow me to play just fine having Garrus and Tali as squadmates. They are my favorite characters AND show up again on ME2.
Bah, I hate how metagaming my way into ME2 shows how OCD I can be.

Heck just roll with Garrus(or Ashley) and Wrex and enjoy the ability to constantly disable people shooting at you and you have Wrex to tank and warp as needed. At least give it a try before going the reroll part, if you have the correct gear, it really shouldn't be an issue, considering you will be above 35 level.

Ashley sucks on insanity,expecially on lower levels without master immunity and good armor she brings nothing "to the table".

I thought he said he was rolling with a mid level Engineer, so that wouldn't be an issue as she should have that. If you are starting out, then sure, but as I said, in my post try it out and if it doesn't work then reroll to a biotic character like he said.

1. choose adept class
2. pick the right squad
With just 1. and 2. the game is just too easy

How are things in ME2 about this, though?
Is Adept still the powerhouse and Engineers weaklings with explosions?

In ME2,Soldier is probably the most powerful class.

You can change your class between ME1 and ME2 so how they act in the first has little bearing on the second. In ME1, adepts/vanguards(w/ Singularity) are the easiest class, Soldiers are the ultimate tanks with Infiltrator following close second, while Engineers are a bit harder and bloom late. In ME2, Soldier is the easiest class, Sentinel is the ultimate tank, Vanguard is high risk high reward play, Infiltrator is a good class but can be squishy, and the Engineer and Adept are harder less straight forward in how they are played. All classes can win at the highest level, but may take some practice and change of tactics. On a side note, below hardcore on ME2 Adept is one of the strongest classes bar none.
As far as Engineers being weaklings with explosions, in ME1 that isn't the case once you realize that you can stop an entire room from shooting at you with our explosions and stun a large area making them stand still as well, you just have to be able t keep using them so you need things that greatly reduce your cooldowns like medi-exos and good omni-tools. Engineers bloom late for real power, which you should see if you take an Engineer through at higher levels.

adept isn't nerfed imo. its just very different. Its more like an engineer. use warp plus singularity equals biotic explosion. gets boring when spammed tho.Ghost Warrior wrote...

It's nerfed compared to ME1. With Adept,nothing could stop you in ME1,it was almost like a god mod.In ME2 (on Insanity) it's one of the weakest classes,if not the weakest.

Best Advice: Do not use a fresh Shepard on Insanity (or Hardcore, for that matter... tried that and decided it was too much frustration).
Only if Mass Effect somehow becomes way too easy for you as if you've figured it out perfectly should you attempt a Fresh Shep Insanity.

Um, yeah it could. As an adept, the early game could stop you quite easily with a low leveled adept. To be quite frank, low level adepts suck. In ME2, you aren't as strong as a endgame ME1 adept, but you can still hold your own. It's just a different sort of playstyle.

Its far worser as an soldier and infiltrator on insanity from level one.Without master immunity and good armor,even the krogan bouncer in choras den could kill you in one hit.

I'm in the middle of an Insanity run right now myself. I'm using a level 60 Soldier, and on every mission I use Liara and Tali.
First of all, make sure both squad members are using dual Medical Exoskeleton in their armour. This will reduce the cooldown on their abilities. Make sure you get them decent implants/omni-tools, as well.
When you're out in open spaces, use Lift on enemies like Krogan. Then, you can use abilities like Throw to send them outside the combat area, which instantly kills them. (Hey, this is Insanity...you need to fight dirty!) In more enclosed spaces, make sure you use Lift and Singularity to crowd control enemies, and use abilities like Sabotage and Dampening to keep them from using their weapons or powers.
Using these strategies, I've found my Insanity run to be almost laughably easy so far, with the exception of Colossi...damn those Colossi! Just make sure you use the full scope of powers on your teammates, like AI hacking and Warp, and ensure that your squad has a good tech/biotic/combat ratio going.
If this is on a level 1 character just starting out...
...pray?

Lift+throw doesn't always work as kill on insanity. I've had lots of enemies survive that (they activate immunity).
